9G4X is decoding on 3.567 in Searcy, but my antenna/power not adequate tonight.

Please feel free to use photos from 9G4X Facebook group as necessary….

The 9G4X M/2 contest operation concluded last night with a raw score of nearly 12M points.  Contest QSOs and pre-contest contacts from our initial 30 hours have all been uploaded to CluLog with over 6,500 QSOs entered.

The extreme solar disturbances on Friday/Saturday and accompanying high A Index from this location at the equator, caused us to abandon any possible low band attempts during the contest.  We had set up beverages and pennant RX antennas prior to the contest but only experienced favorable response with the pennant. However we were able to take advantage of some great openings on 10m and 15m Saturday night while our 3rd, non-contest station was utilized on CW for several hours on WARC bands during some of this time.

We are optimistic with post-contest condx as we see more favorable solar numbers for the remaining 4 days of the 9G4X operation and this morning we are making some antenna revisions that we hope will improve our situation on 80m and 160m. We hope to be on these bands tonight and will only be operating FT8 on these bands IF we are QRV.

Unfortunately we experienced a local power failure yesterday evening (2000Z), which as of now (1200Z Monday), has not been resolved.  All of the facilities here, including our stations, are being powered by the on-site backup generator.  The bad news is we are experiencing significant fluctuations with this backup generator causing our amplifiers to trip.  

Electricians are currently working to make necessary repairs to restore commercial power. Meanwhile 9G4X will only be running 100w until this is resolved. Likewise we will not attempt low band operation until we are once again able to utilize our PAs without the sudden shutdowns.

Please know that 9G4X has returned to the DXpedition phase of the project… watch ClubLog’s LiveStream for our current QRG.  

Finally, we are monitoring 50.313MHz using MSHV and with the 5-element EAntenna LFA donated by DXE.  We are QRX for any traces to appear in the waterfall.

Thanks,
Hal W8HC
